Im trying to figure out how to get the most bang for the buck and make this Jeep go farther. Im thinking front locker, rear limited slip and possibly fuel injection off a chevy blazer for the 350. Any advice or suggestions??

Right now it has a chevy 350 (carberated) and sm465 tranny. The rest is pretty stock other than a four inch superlift, one inch body lift, and the 33's. it does have the stock 44 in the rear. Im not trying to go too crazy cause it is my daily and has to make it half way comfortably four hours home. Just looking for some ideas. ill get pics up soon
I think a rear locker will be your cheapest and most noticable option
like I said, it doesnt have too much now. just the v8, tranny and lift. Other than that its pretty stock
Not knowing exactly what you want I also suggest a good rear locker.
Is the carberator giving you trouble? If not I would suggest axles/suspension work, winch, lights/recovery gear then when you find yourself in angle where the carb won't hang go fuel injection.

and you can use image tags if you want your picture to dispaly
Im thinking possibly a front lunchbox and a limited slip in the rear. I may be getting a fuel injection system off a blazer but i havent seen it yet. Im running an edlebrock carb now and it sucks bad. Ive got a qjet for it and it does half way decent. As far as suspension I was thinking maybe a Rubicon Express 4.5
Sorry to be a buzz-kill, but please do not do 'urban off-roading'; (ie. trespassing); like that. Especially with a TAMOR sticker prominently displayed on your windshield. It is not only risky for you and taints the entire off-roading community but seriously jeopardizes TAMORs reputability with local law enforcement and other off-roaders. Remember that when you put anything on your vehicle that represents the club you are now effectively an ambassador for our interests and should act as such.
Nice looking CJ by the way.
I wasn't trespassing. I had permission to be there
Haha :flipoff2::flipoff2:
In this order: cb radio, gm tbi injection, lunchbox lockers front and rear, then do other stuff as you see fit.
Bang for the buck I'd swap the quadrajet back on it. Those actually work very well offroad. The TBI would be better but maybe put it further down the list in order.
All a limited slip will do is let you down when you need it. Do a real locker in the rear. Leave the front open or be prepared to fix it. It should be pretty reliable open but once you lock it you'll start having some trouble with thing like hubs, hub bolts, u-joints, and axle shafts. Performance would be great and it shouldn't break on every trip but just carry some spares.
The reason I'm considering a limited is because 90% of my driving is sand. I know in rocks the limited will suck but I don't know that I'm in them enough. You really think the front lunchbox will cause problems that often?
